Just sold my 89 Hatch, but came across this one right after I sold the Hatch.
Has 179K miles, new 5 speed tranny and clutch set.
Threw on my 15" Ultra Spokes for some bling effect, and here she is......Bone Stock at the moment....got a CAI and Rage SS muffler on the way, and just had 2 1/4" exhaust ran from the front flex pipe back.
Next comes the System, cant ride without Tunes.......:)

These wheels and tires are only temporary till I trade them off for some that fit the car better. They were free, and have good tires and tread.
Hatch was too small for my needs, plus it had 389K miles on it and I tripled my money invested on the car, turned around and bought this 179K mile sedan, and had money left over to buy more stuff for the sedan and pay some bills....:)
Thanks. I like the sedan also. Its just a beater car, so it will do me just fine.

Installed my Tune Maker today during lunch. Now I can enjoy Music again.....:)
Tune Maker-Pioneer DEH-P2500 XM Ready with Flop Down Face. 22 watt RMS x 4.
New speakers up front in doors and new ones on the way for the back also.

Got a set of Alpine Type R 10" subs for the trunk. Just got to get the 1000 watt RMS amp to push them now. These things are going to kill my gas milage though, they are like hauling around an extra person in my trunk....HEAVY......

Try smaller tires to balance out the extra weight.

Your right front tire looks like it sits too far back in the wheel well.

Yea, I am planning on going down some more in tire size, but not sure how much. My local rural roads will trash rims with 40 series tires.
Right now its running 195/65 R15's.
I was thinking maybe 205/50 15's???

Both of my front wheels seem to set back too far. Not sure why? Car has never been wrecked. Perhaps its the lower front control arms that go up and bolt to the front lower crossmember? Bushings gone maybe?

yeah 205-50-15 is a good sport tire choice. i had some on my fat fives. and it was a lil quicker...now i have 195-60-15 so my rear does not hit my fenders since im lowered.
